I'll pound you to a "Pulp" if you don't show off yours!

I watched his video on the early Croydon's this morning, pretty cool to see them all in one place. Did a little background reading and Croydon apparently became part of the Star Publishing group that Cole formed after purchasing the Premium Comics Group in 1949. Just like with his comics, he did almost all the covers at first - 15 out of the first 16 book covers - but farmed the Croydon digest covers out once he became a studio owner in 1949.

Looks like Ace reprinted a line of Woolrich stories in the late 60's along with this one. http://people.uncw.edu/smithms/mystery_singles.html (Thanks to Pat Calhoun for this Ace site - very informative) I don't know if they're particularly rare as they're later than what I usually go after but his stuff is great and still sells. In the age of the new $10 & up paperbacks, the floor on any reading copy is decent.

Lesbian themed books have been "hot" in more than one sense for quite a while. This one also has the great Nappi art and Eton's are generally pretty scarce so it's a great combo. The holidays are the best time to buy because most people are buying gifts and generally doing other things, plus the sellers are discounting more than they usually do to raise holiday cash. It's a win win for buyers. I don't usually do auctions because the stuff I go for always seems to get jacked up but bidding was sparse on many of the ones I looked at - many people just aren't in the market in December - so I won some prizes, as well as getting some great discounts on BIN's 👍
